My Competition

I decided that because I’ve just been terrible about maintaining my blog, I’m going to aim for a new post every 2-3 days. When I first began the blog, my goal was to make a post a day, but seeing how I’ve not been able to do that, I need to readjust my goals with my blog. After all, if my competition can make daily, regular meaningful blog posts, ( Jon Waraas, Clever Dude, Tyler Cruz), then I should be able too. By the way, those are some of the regular blogs I read, well I just started reading some of Jon Waraas’s blog again. I talked to him a few years ago about some of his Myspace sites and other potential work. He obviously seems to be doing real well now. These guys are bouncing real well with my projects, so it’s good to see them doing well now. I’m sticking with my consulting and Link Building for the time being. I’ve been spending a lot of time doing work for my company, which has distracted me from being able to make quality posts on here. I’m probably going to start tailoring my blog similar to Clever Dude’s blog and post ways to cheat the system ;p.

Over the weekend, I was at Best Buy and saw a great deal for a 100 pack of blank DVD-R. By the way, some people have asked me the difference between DVD-R and DVD+R. There’s a long, technical explanation, but I’ll keep it real simple for the simple people that read my blog. DVD-R and DVD+R are simply different formats. In the past, DVD players and DVD burners could only burn one format, not both -R and +R. Today, DVD players and burners can play and burn both formats. Some have debated which format is better quality, but both are pretty equal. I tend to stick with DVD-R because I’ve been using that format to burn DVDs for a long time and haven’t had any issues. So there’s a quick crash course for DVD-R and DVD+R.

I was at Best Buy and saw the 100 pack of Memorex DVD-R for $22.99, which I thought was a steal. So I was talking towards the line for purchase, and my friend called me. As I was talking on the phone, somehow the pack of DVDs ended up behind me for some reason, and slipped out of my hand. The pack the DVDs were in broke, and it did not end up well. Luckily, I decided to use this in my favor because this was the last pack of DVDs left on the shelf. I know that as far as blank media, Best Buy does not carry anything in their stock, and all their blank media is out on the floor. I decided to tell the cashier that this was the last pack left and was wondering if I could get the product at an “Open Box” price. After talking to the manager, I was able to get a 20% discount . Not bad huh?
